At Table. In Garden.

Saturday Evening

...

I opened the ice box only to find the lid covering the pizza dough ajar. With hours to go before dinner I was feeling a bit nervous. I could've placed it into a larger bowl, but I punched it down instead.

"We can eat spicy pasta every night." I said.

Farmer's Market, Sunday

...

Market raspberries, $3.

I had picked out two containers and handed them over to the woman helping me. "Do you want to just dump them into the bag?" I asked.

"They'll get mashed." She said.

I was hoping she'd say that.

She placed the two containers side by side into the bag, gingerly. I handed her the money.

"I don't know how other people do it, but that's how I do it." She said, passing me back some change.

Market peaches, $4 (small) and $5 (large)

"These are ready to eat. So get at'em." The young woman said, placing the softball sized peaches into the bag.

"They'll be gone by tomorrow." I said smiling.

Market tomatoes, $5.

I can't resist.

Every day I look. Every day.

We don't need scones. I don't need to make scones.

I made scones. Market raspberry and chocolate scones.

Passed down from grandmom to mom. From mom to me.

  8. I'm completely smitten with your "red" (tomatoes, raspberries, peaches, apricots?, fabulous tablecloth) photograph. It's luscious.
